Mouse and keyboard stuff can be tricky for someone who doesn't know much because they don't know how to troubleshoot without a mouse. I'll assume that was the case here. Of course the last time I had a mouse stop working at my job the computer exploded 5 minutes later, wasn't much for me to do after that.

This makes me think the training doesn't go past "is it plugged in" and "did you turn it off and on again". I hope this isn't the case. I hope it isn't just bad training. That makes me question if this is a good rate to pursue or not.
It was a slightly complex issue. Basically this computer is the conjoined twins of the computer world (2 hard drives, 2 screens, 1 power source, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse). The keyboard/mouse would work on half the computer but not the other half.
I don't know what they finally did, but they fixed it.
